More than 500 ITIL-certified professionals came together at Pink Elephant's Annual Conference, which took place from 19 to 21 February, in Las Vegas, to participate in the largest gathering of ITIL-certified professionals in a single spot!
The monumental photo was taken at Pink Elephant's 16th Annual Conference and Exhibition at the beautiful Bellagio Hotel, in Las Vegas. IT professionals from around the world participated in the record-setting photo including attendees from South Africa, UK, Japan, Europe and New Zealand.
“We were curious to see how many of the 1 600 attendees would show up for the photo op,” Fatima Ratcliffe, Pink Elephant's CEO, mused. “Thanks to the 500 who did. Of course, it's very hard to compete with the Vegas Strip - even for a record-breaking photo!”
This photo is a first for the industry and will hopefully lead to other organisations and events taking part in similar activities. Pink Elephant is known for creating some awe-inspiring moments at its events, and this year's conference and record-setting photo was no different.
Past events have featured a live elephant, the Miami Dolphin Cheerleaders and a Pink Floyd cover band.
“Wow! In the click of a shutter, we set a world record!” George Spalding, EVP, Pink Elephant, said enthusiastically. “Just a hair over 500 ITIL-certified professionals gathered in a single spot at PINK12, the most people with ITIL certifications ever photographed in a group! Silly? Of course. But after an incredible head-filling day of intense learning, what better way to unwind at PINK12! It was indeed a blast. Let's go for 600 next year!”
